The Bachelor - Episode 7

Episode 7:

I found this episode almost nauseatingly boring, even with the "big fight".

To start, Lesley was clinging to his side the whole episode, which apparently didn't pay off. The first thing Tierra did was pull out the port-a-bed, which was hilarious to me. Then she muttered "The cougar is back in town" as Ashlee got the first date card.

Ashlee:
Ashlee really is an old soul. Apparently an old maid too. The first 12 hours of the date was spent rolling around in the sand, making out. She managed to squeeze in her opinion on Tierra, which for some reason Sean decided to listen to. Apparently he didn't get it when the 5 other girls told him. They get to dinner and she takes 15 minutes, of which they aired ALL every second, to tell him she has been married before. Then she stands on her chair and yells "I love Sean" like she was giving a moose call.

Tierra:
Man I am sick of her and her white lipstick and too-long hair. She gets a date card, finally, and of course she bitches about it. Mind you, I, too would have bitched, maybe just to myself or my mom or something. If you are in the Virgin Islands, you go to the beach. It's hot. It's dirty. It's hot. 3 minutes into the date she is complaining, again, that she is "hot, gross, and thirsty" but she thinks she is super special because Sean buys her, with ABC's money, a hemp dolphin necklace from 1993 and an eternity bracelet that he had no idea meant eternity. WHY the HELL is Sean wearing a long-freaking-sleeved shirt? He sits her down and gives her one last chance to prove herself a normal person and she still blames everything on the rose she got the first night and that all the girls are still jealous. They sit down on a dock and the camera gets an awesome angle of her ridiculously LONG toenail, and that sealed the deal for me.

Group date:
Sean starts out by being every girls worst nightmare and waking them up at 4am. He walks by Tierra on a cot in the foyer, which should have been a red-flag, and takes pictures Catherine, Lindsay, and Des as they wake up. They drive to somewhere and he tells them they are the "first 4 Americans to watch the sun rise", along with the 20 other crew members with them. This is a cute idea for a date, but unfortunately was extremely boring. They went to the same sugarmill he took Tierra to the day before, and some other places I don't remember. The only thing revealed in this date is that it is now apparent that Lindsay is much better with her makeup/hair done, and Catherine tells him she watched her dad try to kill himself, which evidently is not as traumatic as watching the tree fall on her friend (poor girl!) and Des is really pigeon toed, but she is my favorite. Lindsay gets the rose because she is "fun".

Lesley:
We start out with a flashback of Emily and Aries last date on some kind of plantation and Lesley wearing the exact dress Emily was. Again, boring. Lesley is really cute and normal. No apparent night portion of this date, just a few hours of awkward conversation and forced kisses. Then the red pajamas. This is possibly the most exciting thing thus far. Sean, for SOME reason unknown to man, whips out a picture on his phone of him, at his current age, in red footie pajamas sucking his thumb. Yep. I was starting to think maybe he was a little weird and this confirmed it. I don't think I really even like him anymore. Don't.

The fight:
Sean flies his sister in to pretty much help him with Tierra. She tells him to "not end up with the girl no one likes" which is refreshingly sound advice and the most down to earth thing I've heard in 3 weeks. While they are talking on the beach about what a bitch she is, Tierra is sitting on the couch in the apartment with huge bug bite welts all over her bitchy folded arms. Ashlee has had it with her shit and calls her out on something and she erupts like she always does, only this time she is getting it back. They bicker for a few and Tierra snaps her hand, as if to shoosh Ashlee, and tells her she is done with this conversation. Ashlee goes into the other room to ask the girls about something Tierra said and she storms back in denying everything. Ashlee, being the wise old owl that she is, looks at the camera man and tells them to roll tape. Then she stabs the knife in the back by reminding Tierra that her own parents told her not to come on the show because she can't get along with anyone. Which is freaking funny. Tierra admits she has no control over her freaky eyebrows. Again, funny. Meanwhile, Sean wants his sister to meet sweet Tierra and heads up the hill to get her. He finds her convulsing on her cot, rolls his eyes at the camera (again, freaking funny) and asks her what is wrong. She starts telling him she got in a fight with 'someone' and he stops her and tells her "at this point it would be best for you to say her name" LMAO. Needless to say, he sends her home. He makes it sound like he is doing it because he cares so much for her, which is lame. 2 things: I feel extremely relieved, and how did she get her stuff? She left straight from the fight to the van. If I were the girls, all her shit would have been floating in the ocean by the time she shut the van door. She mutters about how no one will ever take her sparkle away.

Ceremony:
Sean is getting hard ass and tells them no cocktails. He looks like he is one click away from snapping someones neck. I really like Lesley and am pissed he sent her home. But at the same time the more I know of Sean the more I am ok with the girls I like going home because they are better than him.


Blah.
